"This is a positive step for arena soccer and for the MASL. Utica fans are passionate about their hometown teams and General Manager Tommy Tanner has put together a competitive and exciting product that fans from the entire region will support. If they like hockey, they’ll love arena soccer. I am excited about what Robert Esche and his team can do with Utica City and how that will propel the league forward," said Schaub.
